renewed surge of arctic air sweeps through.

Expect snowfall accumulations Wednesday between 1 and 3 inches, mainly south of Highway 2. Gusty northwest winds 20 to 30 mph, coinciding with
the falling snow, will result in areas of blowing and drifting
snow and reduced visibilities. Falling temperatures during the day

Another storm system is forecast to produce accumulating snow and
another surge of arctic air Friday. The frigid temperatures will
continue through the weekend. Travelers and those participating
in outdoor activities will need to prepare for the possibility of

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Left-hander Zach Duke is guaranteed $2.15 million as part of his one-year contract with the Minnesota Twins and can earn an additional $1.5 million based on pitching appearances.

Duke can earn $200,000 each for 40 and 50 games as a pitcher under the deal announced Dec. 26. He could earn $300,000 apiece for 55 and 60, and $500,000 for 65.

The 34-year-old was 1-1 with a 3.93 ERA in 27 relief appearances last year for St. Louis, returning to the major leagues on July 21 after Tommy John surgery in October 2016. He struck out 12 and walked six in 18 1/3 innings, and three of the 13 hits he allowed were home runs.

He is 61-85 with a 4.30 ERA in 169 starts and 299 relief appearances over 13 major league seasons with Pittsburgh (2005-10), Arizona (2011), Washington (2012-13), Cincinnati (2013), Milwaukee (2014), the Chicago White Sox (2015-16) and the Cardinals (2016-17).

 

LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — The Chicago Bears have hired Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy as their new head coach, hoping he can help lift a foundering NFL franchise emerge from one of its worst runs in history.

The Bears announced the move Monday, a week after firing coach John Fox. The Bears are just 14-34 record in the past three years for a .292 winning percentage that ranks as the second-lowest in their history. They Bears were 5-11 this past season.

The 39-year-old Nagy spent the past 10 seasons working under Andy Reid in Philadelphia and Kansas City. He did not call plays until late this season, but drew praise for his work with Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith. In Chicago, he will be trying to develop No. 2 overall draft pick Mitchell Trubisky.

The Chiefs won the AFC West, only to blow an 18-point halftime lead in a playoff loss to Tennessee on Saturday. The Bears met with Nagy in Kansas City on Sunday and wasted little time hiring him.

Chicago also interviewed Philadelphia quarterbacks coach John DeFilippo, Minnesota and New England offensive coordinators Pat Shurmur and Josh McDaniels, Vikings defensive coordinator George Edwards and Chicago defensive coordinator Vic Fangio.
